His ratio of meeting with energy people vs conservationists is 25-1.

Fuck them conservationist cocksuckers- the hunters, fishers, campers & hikers! And those stupid sight seers, too! There's money to be made! Lots of it!

And Pruitt will be getting his share when he gets done with the EPA, bet on that.

trump says pruitt is doing a great job.

translation: we need a poll on when he's going to be fired/quit/resign. i give him a month.
There are 2 problems. One Trump lubs him some Pruitt at the EPA as well as a ton of wealthy petroleum contributors. Two, the Republican Congress have at least 2 people that need to go through confirmation hearings and oh well those are going to be a political problem (Bolton) and they really aren't interested in stirring that pot until after the midterms. That's why the rumor that Trump was going to replace Sessions with Pruitt was probably Trump leaked fake news to begin with.

Bolton doesn’t need Senate confirmation, unless I misunderstood you.

Yea, you may be right and that was also the angle of switching Pruitt over to justice, f'n scary. There's at least Secretary of State and some other position that needs to be confirmed. McChinless has made it clear that confirmation hearings are not a high priority this close to the mid-terms.

Well, flying in a tube filled with demons (fellow Americans) will interfere in communion with the Lord. The constant sweeping for bugs facilitates the Lord's work, obviously. And the soundproof booth is just so he can enjoy phone sex in privacy.

Oh God, who was that crazy prosperity gospel megachurch guy who said that? I bet him and Pruitt hang out.

Scott got weirder. The EPA SUV he had from the last head was not big enough, he leased a newer & bigger SUV that also has Kevlar seat covers, yes bullet proof seat covers.
Old lease is still in effect for approximately $6700 per year. New rapper pimped out ride is 10k per year. We are paying for both

Don't worry, stupid Trump supporters will just check Hannity's twitter feed so they know what excuse talking point to parrot.

What fine stewards of the people's money they are.

It's all worth it though...his new 2018 ride gets higher MPG than the 2014 ride! Right??

I think he learned his lesson when it was revealed that he had used his private email in correspondence with govt officials, contrary to his sworn testimony. He was arrogant enough to lie even when it was unnecessary. He'll use govt email when dealing with govt officials & his own cellphone for everything else, including communication with his big energy sponsors. In his soundproof booth, of course.

He's not there to run the EPA but rather to neuter it. Cost is no object, of course.

Decoys are an important component of security.

Your guys are just missing what Pruitt is doing. He’s a big Marvel fan and he wants to go to the Avengers Infinity War premier as Nick Fury. :D

Just saw this:
EPA chief sat in coach when not flying on taxpayer's dime

https://www.yahoo.com/news/epa-chief-sat-coach-not-flying-taxpayers-dime-194312427--politics.html


"Asked Wednesday about the records reviewed by AP, EPA spokesman Jahan Wilcox said "the same
security procedures are followed whether Administrator Pruitt is on official or personal travel." Wilcox
did not directly respond to why Pruitt didn't need to fly in first class on the personal flights."

Of course he didn't respond. :rolleyes:

Wouldn't it be nice if political conservatism stretched as far as a desire to mantain the natural environment as well as possible.

Some conservatives do actually think like that, if not very consistently. But not American ones, it seems. American conservatism is not at all conservative. The only thing they want to conserve is money and racial privilege.
